Giant Anthem Advanced 29 3 Bike
The Giant Anthem Advanced 29 3 gives you carbon XC speed without the top-shelf price.
The Anthem Advanced 29 3 is a full-suspension cross-country bike for riders who want a fast, efficient carbon race bike they can ride hard every weekend. Its big 29-inch wheels and quick-climbing manners make it right at home on the fire roads and singletrack of the Santa Monica Mountains.
It's right for you if:
You want a carbon XC bike without paying Advanced SL money.
You ride fast singletrack and want efficient, all-day climbing.
You're moving up from a hardtail and want real rear suspension.
Why you'll love it:
The Advanced-grade carbon front triangle drops weight, so climbs come easier.
Maestro suspension keeps the rear wheel tracking without robbing your pedal power.
Big 29-inch wheels roll over obstacles, so you keep your speed.
Hydraulic disc brakes give you confident stopping on fast, loose descents.
The tech you get: an Advanced-grade composite front triangle, short-travel Maestro XC suspension, a wide-range drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and fast-rolling 29-inch wheels.

Highlights
World Cup Speed
This is a race-bred XC bike with 29-inch wheels that carry momentum over rocks and roots. Modern geometry with a slacker 67.5-degree head angle keeps it stable when you're flat-out on descents.
Lighter Composite Frame
The Advanced-grade mainframe and swingarm shave 241 grams over the previous version. Every gram you drop is a gram you don't drag up the climb, and on race day it adds up.
FlexPoint Pro Rear End
100mm of smooth, active Maestro-family travel keeps the rear wheel tracking the ground for grip and control. It stays efficient under power so you're not wasting watts.
RockShox SID with Remote Lockout
The 110mm SID fork is a proven XC race unit, and the bar-mounted lockout lets you firm it up for road climbs and open it back up before the descent, all without breaking cadence.
Carbon WheelSystem
Giant's XCR 2 29 carbon wheels wrapped in fast-rolling Maxxis Recon Race tires spin up quickly and hold speed. Tubeless-ready, so you can run lower pressure for traction on loose ground.
Dropper-Equipped for Real Trails
A 125mm Giant Contact Switch dropper means you can get the saddle out of the way and ride the descents like you mean it, not just survive them.
